Abstract
This article explains why student-athletes on college and university campuses are chosen as a special group for library instruction outreach programs. A brief history of the library instruction to athletes' programs at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is given, emphasizing the collaboration between the academic advisors of the athletes and the instruction librarians. With the inception of electronic library services and full-text databases, the next logical progression in the program is e-mail reference services. Such a program is described.
